Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Before:

In Plover, WI, a homeowner noticed bowing and horizontal cracking along multiple basement walls. Portage County’s clay-rich, moisture-retentive soils were exerting significant lateral pressure, causing inward movement around the entire perimeter of the basement. Symptoms included stepped cracking, widening mortar joints, and walls deflecting inward more noticeably during wet periods—a clear indication of soil expansion and seasonal freeze–thaw stress pushing against the foundation.

After:
Sure-Dry installed GeoLock® Wall Anchors around the entire basement to stabilize each affected wall section. Anchor rods were advanced into undisturbed soils away from the pressure zone, and every anchor was torque-verified to ensure proper soil engagement before final tensioning. This configuration provides full-perimeter stabilization with the ability for gradual corrective tightening over time.
The basement is now structurally secure, protected against continued inward movement, and ready to withstand Central Wisconsin’s seasonal soil cycles.

In their Plover, WI home, this homeowner faced a challenge with unstable, failing walls—a troubling issue that can affect both safety and property value. We understood their concerns and stepped in with our trusted GeoLock Wall Anchor System. As seen in the after photo, these GeoLock Anchors provide a steadfast solution, embedding steel anchors in stable soil to secure and stabilize the walls. Our approach not only restores structural integrity but also nurtures peace of mind. There's power in knowing that your home's foundation is once again secure.

In Berlin, WI homeowners noticed their basement walls were bowing forward. 

Our team came out and installed 9 GeoLocks. These GeoLocks use the hard compacted soil outside to pull/hold the wall in place so no further bowing takes place. 

Before:
A homeowner in Berlin noticed a horizontal crack forming through the middle of a basement wall with sections bowing inward. Seasonal soil pressure and saturated clay soils were worsening the movement, raising concerns about long-term stability and safety.

After:
We installed the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System, connecting heavy-duty interior wall plates to galvanized earth anchors set in stable soil outside. The system immediately stabilizes the wall and allows for periodic tightening to help straighten it over time—with minimal excavation at each anchor location.

The foundation is now secure against further inward movement, and the homeowner has a proven path to improve wall alignment over the seasons.
